*potential spoiler issues, retards*

I just watched this yesterday - I d/led it off iTunes . . . pretty solid, although the concept is a direct rip on every mafia story ever ("if you kill the boss, you'd better be prepared to be the boss"). It was somewhat predictable, but the cinematography was way above par. It didn't really leave a lot of room to grow, but I was impressed.

Lyrelyre ...clever name by the way, symbol and nickname...anyway, I know...and then the ones who leave...and you never watched...wished you had when they were on and a hit....I never got into Will and Grace after the first season....now, damn, wish I had...so I ignore NBC's new shows for that same reason...expect them to break my heart ....fyi..there is a huge on line petition to save Studio 60...so there is a slim chance!!

sorry to break the sacred double reply rule...but checked the Death Watch site which tracks the shows due to be cancelled....and according to them, BLACK DONNELLEYS is 7th on their list...and has a 52:1 chance of cancellation so do something fast if you like or love this show!!

This show is not bad. I might catch the next episode, if time permits.

But what happened to Studio 60???

Finally watched it tonight -- I enjoyed it.

It's on hiatus right now, but it's back on the chopping block and may be cancelled. BD pulled decent numbers, so who knows what NBC execs are going to do. We're told we can expect to see S60 back, but that it may not stay for long. Go and sign the petition to save it here: http://studio60.bluestatedigital.com/page/petition/main

I'm a huge fan of this show now. And while I loved Studio 60 and would really like to see it come back, I definitely don't mind watching this show every Monday night. :)

Excellent show. As James said, it's a stereotypical mafia type movie. Who cares though? It's good stuff.

Good show so far. The one thing I don't like is the guy in jail that pops in and out of scenes.
